Since I still don't feel comfortable traveling outside of the country rn (or, moreso, trying to get back in🤪), I'm going to try to get to some US destinations in the next few years.
Here's an almost-accurate travel map (missing Denver and ATL). Where should I go next? Thinking Alaska, but open!

These raggedy ass Project 2025 losers are taking scholarships from my students because they're "diverse." The mediocrity of these people is pitiful.

Heritage University RE: Response to Reconsideration Request of the Non-Continuation of Grant PR/Award Number S184X230057
Dcar Amy Nusbaum, We have reviewed your timely request for reconsideration submitted on May 28, 2025 regarding the non-continuation of grant PR/Award Number S1 84X230057 in the Mental Health Service Professional Demonstration Grant Program. Upon the review and recommendation by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, I have concluded the review of your reconsideration request and your request is denied. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) has provided this administrative reconsideration process, consistent with law (34 C.F.R. 75.253(g)), to permit a grantee to challenge this decision to not continue a grant. As part of this process, the Department informed applicants in their non-continuation letter that they could submit a reconsideration request, and the Department would review the submitted materials to determine if the request is accepted or denied. Upon review of your submitted reconsideration materials and documentation from your grant, I have determined that your grant provides funding for programs that reflect the prior Administration's priorities and policy preferences and conflicts with those of the current
Administration, in that the program: violates the letter or purpose of Federal civil rights law: conflicts with the Departments policy of prioritizing merit, fairness, and excellence in cducation; undermines the wvell-being of the students these programs are intended to help; or constitutes an inappropriate use of federal funds. Specifically, in support of my conclusion, you state in your approved grant application on page c25, that "[the project will increase...diversity of high qualified trained MH Professionals" and also on page e32, "[e]very year, the project will increase by 23 trained, certified, and diverse Master of Mental Health Counseling graduates." In addition, the information in your reque…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wqsqx5i5hcl7g5txl75bzrgs/bafkreicbq7jpc7qizyd7kqbr6z7mqzien4zxle46b64an63hnabtvznuta@jpeg)
